Find the Queen / Find the Queen
Hey there, I'd like to know how to perform this amazing magic effect called 'Find the Queen,' as I've been searching everywhere and can't find anything on it. Also, I was wondering if the cards are available in PDF format so I can make my own set? I want to do it by printing them on cardstock.

Hey there,
I'm guessing you're referring to this effect:

@samuelasensio:
Since it's a marketed trick, I'm assuming (and this is just my thought) that the revelation will be in the VIP AREA and for those who purchase it.
But I can tell you that simply by watching the promo video and paying close attention to the moves he makes (like whether or not he flips the cards) and how he holds them by that black border when he shows them, you should be able to figure out the system yourself.
I just watched it for the first time and already have an idea of how to create it, just from watching the promo video (but it's not my type of magic 😅; I prefer close-up magic, although I might try to make it with some mini Bicycle cards).
Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. Watch the video; the gimmicked card system (large cards in this case) is clearly visible (if you analyze what he's doing).
@samuelasensio:
You can scan the cards yourself (if you have a scanner, or know someone who does) into a PDF and print them at whatever size you want.
Since I believe you mentioned you already perform shows, I'll tell you that even though you might want to make them yourself (I'm a big proponent of DIY), the ones in the shop aren't expensive for what they are. If you profit from your shows and plan to include them in your repertoire, I think they would be a good investment. That's just my opinion.
Even though I can't find the card that comes out blank
Okay. Even though the big ones I want cost 50 euros, I think it'd be cheaper to just make them myself.
The gimmick is in the black section. There's a piece of card stock that's both a King and a Queen. So, when you turn the card over, the piece drops into place and transforms the card. If that's not clear, I can send you a photo.
